What do you call someone who can see/talk to ghosts?

I have a paper assignment and that's about if I had a 'super power' or a 'talent' what would it be. So I'm curious about what I would call someone who talks to ghosts. I've heard their called: Psychic Medium, a Medium, a Spirit Medium, Mediator, and other things along with Medium. My teacher is WAY too serious and strict, so she wouldn't think this would be a superpower (but flying is, apperently) so I want to give the official term of it. Thanks in advance.

    We can be called Sensitives, Psychics, Mediums, Psychic Mediums, and Angel Children. It really is about your sensitivity level and your preference. I prefer to be known as a sensitive or a psychic.

    Some psychics try the "all things to everyone" approach and promote themselves as intuitive advisor, psychic, life coach, tarot reader, energy healers. Even though the terms are often interchangeable it seems less confusing to me to be either a psychic or an intuitive advisor. I personally prefer the term intuitive advisor for its modern flavor. The term "psychic" conjures up images of carnival booths, psychic fairs, middle aged women in hippy dresses and parlor tricks. Even though I know for a fact that most psychics do not fit these descriptions the word seems associated with such things.

    Typically they'd be referred to as a Medium. A Channeler is similar: a person who is possessed by a spirit in order to communicate with them.

    (Incidentally, if I had a "superpower" it'd be shapeshifting. ^_^)

    it could be. I understang completely the place your coming from by way of fact I honestly have had comparable studies. in case you experience like they try to comunicate with you or all of us else in the living house the appropriate way you will detect out is through attempting to comunicate with them your self in some way. Say if one night you initiate seeing shadows and listening to noises 3 issues you're able to do is take photographs by way of fact issues show up once you get image's superior which you won't have the ability to work out with the bare eye, set a video digital camera up pointing on the section the place you think of that's coming from, placed a recorder in that section and turn it on, see in case you are able to capture some sounds and voices. in the way of speaking with them, bypass to the portion of the living house that they are regularly seen, this might seem stupid and you will in all hazard experience stupid, yet attempt asking questions like who're you? are you able to assert something? are you able to are making a noise or bang on something? in case you do get an answer e.g. you are able to say something like "in case you're right here and you will hear me i could such as you to answer some questions in case you may please" additionally you are able to say "once I ask something and the respond is particular supply 2 knocks on the wall, whether it relatively isn't any supply one knock on the wall. If there is something all of those could paintings, whether the speaking would not paintings i'm valuable you will capture something on digital camera, video digital camera and recorder it relatively is unusual. i think of that ghosts feed of worry so bear in innovations that. sturdy success and that i wish you detect something and tutor that ghosts exist!
